Eltham BSL Friday.

We were flat out last Friday; there was a constant stream of people with boxes and bags of donations.  One lady dumped a bean bag out the front and took off to get more stuff.  When she came back I said we can't take the bean bag, it is too big.  But my boss said it was okay, she would just put $5 on and see what happens.  Well, she didn't even get a chance to price it.  A girl came running up from another shop in the arcade saying she wanted the bean bag - how much is it?  So we got $5 for something I was going to refuse!  Goes to show how wrong you can be....

Here is what I brought home:
A cute metal sign, $3.   We've got too many chook items inside now, so I'll hang this on the wall outside somewhere!  

Little handbag $4 - it matches the skirt I was wearing on Friday, which I'd bought at the BSL last year.

Pair of flatties $3
Snuggly slippers for when I get out of the bed in the middle of the night to go to the loo...$2
Unusual embroidered half apron from Portugal $3.50
Gorgeous cotton dress $6.  Perfect for one of those hot days when it feels so good to have fabric drifting around your legs as you walk.

I just love that apron!
I actually saw the same one on my travels, only the one I saw wasn't in as good a condition as yours, so it didn't come home with me.

It's cool to be seeing one you found at another opshop! :D

Well I don't know what I like best. I think the apron from Portugal is very special.
